✅ UPDATE — SPARTA AVENUE NOW OPEN ✅

Great news Sparta — Sparta Avenue has been reopened! 🎉

After being closed indefinitely this morning following a crash that brought down utility poles and live wires, the road has been cleared and normal travel can resume. Use caution in the area as crews may still be finishing up.

A huge thank you to Sparta Police and all the utility workers who worked hard to get this resolved and get Sparta moving again. 👏

This is why Sparta Spotlight exists — keeping our community informed in real time, start to finish. If you have a tip or see something happening in Sparta, text us at (570) 856-8163.
